Sinclair, Inc.

name: Sinclair, Inc.
description: 'Sinclair, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI), formerly Sinclair Broadcast Group, is a diversified media company and one of
  the largest U.S. local television broadcasters. The company operates 177-185+ TV stations across roughly 79-86 markets affiliated
  with all major broadcast networks (Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, MyNetworkTV, The CW), owns Tennis Channel, holds a stake in YES Network,
  and runs digital multicast networks Comet, Charge!, Roar, and The Nest. Sinclair Ventures houses the company''s non-broadcast
  operations, including ad/martech units (AMP, Drive Auto, Free State, Digital Remedy/Compulse) and broadcast technology subsidiaries
  (Dielectric, ONE Media Technologies, Bitpath, CAST.ERA, Broadspan Wireless). In 2019 Sinclair acquired the Fox Sports regional
  sports networks for ~$9.6 billion through a Diamond Sports Group joint venture; Diamond was rebranded Bally Sports in 2021,
  filed Chapter 11 in March 2023, exited bankruptcy in January 2025 as Main Street Sports Group, rebranded again as FanDuel
  Sports Network, and is winding down operations in mid-2026. Sinclair runs no developer program and publishes no API documentation,
  but its corporate site at sbgi.net serves a live, public, unauthenticated WordPress REST API whose first-party sbg/v1 namespace
  publishes the company''s full television station footprint — 197 primary stations and 365 digital subchannels across 87
  Nielsen DMAs, with network affiliation, market rank and O&O/JSA/LMA/MSA ownership status attached to every call sign — alongside
  1,753 press releases and the regional sports network territories.'

  note: The corporate content API at sbgi.net/wp-json answers anonymously with no key, no signup and no quota. This is unpriced
    and uncommitted infrastructure rather than a published free tier — Sinclair offers no plans, no terms of use specific
    to the API, and no guarantee the routes persist.
